We don't want to move until the end of June
The listing was going to be in late April/ early May.
I heard an ad on Dave Ramsey for their brokers and gave in
Called an amazing agent in town- Andrew Bryan
He said, "Crazy market. Here are the comps. Ask to rent back until July."
We were skeptical, but prepped the house for pictures.
Remember, we have been doing one box packed, one thrown nd one given away since Jan 1.
I bought flowers and vacuumed. Made the beds. Cleaned off surfaces. The Photographer---oh Lala!
We had almost 30 showings on Friday and Saturday.
We signed papers today to close on tax day. We can stay, for free, until June 30.
Suddenly we love the governors of New Jersey and New York....
Our heads are spinning!
That Idaho house better be ready by the end of June!
The housing market is crazy right now in Oklahoma City as well. My 23 year old son has been looking around for a house. Every time a listing comes up in his price range it changes to pending or sold within a day or so. He looked at one house three hours after it listed and it sold within a few hours. It is putting too much pressure on my son, as a buyer he can't "sleep on it" because more than likely the house will be gone by morning. Crazy!

Thanks Tom and Susan. I hear you, RetirementCoffeeShop. My best friend's son is looking for a house. This is a cash and quick market. He is out priced before he gets in the door. I think it will settle down this summer.
